About This Spot

Stepping into Gibson’s on Penton Street feels like entering a warmly lit nook where the hum of friendly conversation drifts softly alongside the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee. This cozy spot invites a slower rhythm to your day, blending the calmness of a well-loved neighborhood refuge with the quiet energy of a space where connections happen effortlessly.

The atmosphere at Gibson’s strikes a balance between relaxed and engaging—whether you’re settling in for a thoughtful moment with a book, catching up with a friend, or simply pausing for a carefully crafted coffee to go. Behind the counter, there’s a genuine warmth that extends beyond the cups. The unhurried exchanges and familiar faces paint a picture of a place where community isn’t just a word but something you can feel in the air.

Here, each cup carries a bit of care, from smooth long blacks to vibrant matcha lattes, pairing beautifully with seasonal pastries or a savory bite like their onion toastie. These aren’t just menu options but part of the comforting ritual that makes Gibson’s more than just a stop on your route—it’s a part of the neighbourhood’s daily heartbeat.

Gibson’s thrives quietly on authenticity. Its charm lies not in buzz or flash, but in the subtle joys of a well-pulled espresso, the familiar nod from the barista, and the feeling that you’re popping into a space where people genuinely want to see you again tomorrow.

I stopped by while visiting from the states and I had a delicious cold brew. But even more appreciated was the friendly banter with staff. Small and cozy - this coffee shop is an ideal community institution. I hope it continues to thrive so I can return in the future. Would recommend!

My favourite cafe! Hands down the best coffee and toasties in the area and in London! The vibe is immaculate and even when it’s busy, Alex always makes the time to chat. So glad I found this place.

Looking for the best coffee in London? Well look no further. Alex makes the most phenomenal coffee you’ll probably ever taste in London and beyond, from the finest beans but also some serious barista skills. This well designed cosy coffee shop is my go to place whether I’m looking for a quick coffee on the way to work, a place to work for a few hours or even just a chat with Alex, the owner who’s genuinely the nicest guy. I struggled to find a welcoming place that is good enough to call my local, but this cafe is one I want to return to again and again. I bring all my friends and family there and they all love it!

The most delicious coffee and the owner, Alex, is so friendly and welcoming. If you’re looking for Australian-style coffee this is one of the best in London.

Gibson’s is hands down the best cafe in the area, with a cozy, chill vibe. The coffee is exceptional—definitely try the flat white, or for a real taste of the flavors, go for an espresso or Americano. For food options, the pastries are fantastic, with a new selection daily, but the toasties are the real highlight. My favorite is the pastrami one. Alex, the owner, is such a friendly person and always great to chat with. If you're in the area, definitely give it a go. Highly recommend this place!

Absolutely loved this cafe! Great vibe and fit out, superb coffee, delicious toasted banana bread & biscuit, and the owner, Alex, was super friendly and welcoming in a genuine way. Big thanks - definitely rate it and highly recommend!

During a stay in the Angels Kings Crossing area of London, my daughter and her partner suggested Gibson’s for coffee. My friend and I made a visit for Breakfast and enjoyed delicious Flat Whites and a Toastie. Both were delicious and the service was wonderful and attentive.
